The Dobro Workbook by David Hamburger is an instructional sheet music book for players who want to develop licks, techniques, and improvisation skills for lap-style resophonic slide guitar. Written for fretted dobro and square-neck players building real-world fluency, it combines clear musical examples with practical studies designed to strengthen vocabulary, control, and confidence.
You will explore scales, licks, songs, and musical examples covering essential techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, picking techniques, syncopations, rolls, double stops, and playing in different keys. All material is presented in both standard notation and guitar tablature, making it accessible for TAB readers while also supporting traditional music reading development.
The book includes 98 full-demo tracks accessed online with a unique code. The audio can be streamed or downloaded and features PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional player that allows you to slow down tracks without changing pitch, set loop points for focused practice, change keys, and pan left or right for detailed listening.
This workbook supports steady technical growth while encouraging expressive phrasing and musical awareness. By studying progressive examples and hearing each idea performed, players can internalize timing, tone, and articulation in a practical way that enhances both independent practice and applied performance. Clear organization makes it easy to revisit key concepts and reinforce technique over time.
